Planckian locus in the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram. In physics and color science, the Planckian locus or black body locus is the path or locus that the color of an incandescent black body would take in a particular chromaticity space as the blackbody temperature changes.
The Planckian locus on the MacAdam (u, v) chromaticity diagram. The normals are lines of equal correlated color temperature. The CIE 1960 color space ("CIE 1960 UCS", variously expanded Uniform Color Space, Uniform Color Scale, Uniform Chromaticity Scale, Uniform Chromaticity Space) is another name for the (u, v) chromaticity space devised by David MacAdam.
Planck radiation has a maximum intensity at a wavelength that depends on the temperature of the body. For example, at room temperature (~ 300 K), a body emits thermal radiation that is mostly infrared and invisible. At higher temperatures the amount of infrared radiation increases and can be felt as heat, and more visible radiation is emitted ...
The Planckian locus is depicted on the CIE 1960 UCS, along with isotherms (lines of constant correlated color temperature) and representative illuminant coordinates By the time the D-series was formalized by the CIE, [ 12 ] a computation of the chromaticity ( x , y ) {\displaystyle (x,y)} for a particular isotherm was included. [ 13 ]
The even spacing of the isotherms on the locus implies that the mired scale is a better measure of perceptual color difference than the temperature scale. The notion of using Planckian radiators as a yardstick against which to judge other light sources is not new. [6]
A Nicholson model, showing a short part of protein backbone (white) with side chains (grey). Note the snipped stubs representing hydrogen atoms. A good example of composite models is the Nicholson approach, widely used from the late 1970s for building models of biological macromolecules.
A biological model is an organism or system representing a more complex biological entity. It may refer to: a model organism, a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena present in many related organisms; an in vitro model system, representing complex in vivo systems
A space-filling model of n-octane, the straight chain (normal) hydrocarbon composed of 8 carbons and 18 hydrogens, formulae: CH 3 CH 2 (CH 2) 4 CH 2 CH 3 or C 8 H 18.Note, the representative shown is of a single conformational "pose" of a population of molecules, which, because of low Gibbs energy barriers to rotation about its carbon-carbon bonds (giving the carbon "chain" great flexibility ...
